Apples to Apples...Triple G's Resume.

[S7V7N]

LMAO

That LW and those two WWs individually have better wins @ 160 than does the Triple Duck.

Duran was already past his prime when he made his MW debut at age 32. He has one significant win @ 160, Iran Barkley for the WBC title. Lost to Hagler, Leonard, Lawler & Sims.

Leonard has a grand total of 3 fights in his career at MW. He got the controversial win against Hagler in his debut, beat a 38yr old Duran, & got KO'd by Camacho well past Ray's prime. The second Hearns fight where he drew was actually at SMW.

Hearns had a couple of bouts earlier in his career at MW, but it wasn't until after he beat Duran for the SWW belt that he made his first real foray into the MW division against Hagler. He fought a grand total of 4 more MW fights in his career, one of those losing to Iran Barkley.

I don't think you know WTF you're talking about!

LMAO

Hopkins won his first LEGIT title while in his mid 30's with his win over Trinidad, Einstein...

Your the guy who got your facts wrong in your initial post. First you say 40 now you correct yourself and then blame me. You Canelo fans are lame.

Context is important when comparing resumes don't ya think? What opportunities were made available & did the athlete try to take on challenges when presented. All resume's are not created equal because not all have those same opportunities for one reason or another. This is why Golovkin being avoided in his prime is part of the context that needs weighed in evaluating talent. The same way NFL pro scouts evaluate DivII prospects that don't have the same chances to perform against the best. It's all about how one performs when given those same chances. It'll always be a question now since Golovkin is over the hill in terms of boxing prime, but it's a valid point that has merit & deserves consideration.

Let's remember Hagler fought three truly elite men. One a LW, and two WW's, yet he's the gold standard at MW.

Resume isn't the only thing, it's just one part of the equation.

Yeah and one part of the equation is the eye test. Watching Hagler was a treat. He was determined, hard working, had great boxing ability, a chin of granite, could fight left or right and transition seamlessly. The couple of things I remember most about Hagler. He usually finished the exchanges. He made sure he got in the last punch and he had those sweet short punches that he used to bust up his opponent.

[Nay_Sayer]

Hopkins at 36 loses to ggg. Bad style matchup. He wouldn't get past the jab and would get outworked UD. Taylor beat him twice already. Hopkins has several kinks in his armor. GGG has yet to lose.

40 year old Hopkins beat better fighters than 36 year old Bumlovkin..

[Nay_Sayer]

Alvarez and jacobs > tito all day long.

It's painfully obvious that YDKSAB.

Trinidad is a first ballot HOF'er and legitimate ATG. Can the same be said of Alvarez and Jacobs? Hell NO.

Tito's resume @ 154 and 160 absolutely positively ****s all over Alvarez'. Trinidad's best win @ 160 is at least on par with anything Jacobs has ever done at the weight or is likely to ever do.

Where do you ****ing idiots come from with this blatant nonsense? Did you just start watching boxing yesterday?

Your the guy who got your facts wrong in your initial post. First you say 40 now you correct yourself and then blame me. You Canelo fans are lame.

I didn't get any facts wrong, Genius. Let me lay them out for your short school bus attention deficit disorder illiterate arse;

Hopkins won his first LEGIT title in his mid 30's @ MW with his win over Tito Trinidad.

Hopkins won his second LEGIT title in his mid 40s @ LHW with his win over Jean Pascal.

That's TWO LEGIT titles @ TWO different weight classes. Are you keeping up so far, Einstein?

OTOH, Bumlovkin has yet to win a single LEGIT title @ age 36 - and is not likely to do so EVER...

[Nay_Sayer]

Duran was already past his prime when he made his MW debut at age 32. He has one significant win @ 160, Iran Barkley for the WBC title. Lost to Hagler, Leonard, Lawler & Sims.

Duran's win over Barkley urinates and defecates on any single win on Bumlovkin's resume. Is this even up for debate?

Leonard has a grand total of 3 fights in his career at MW.

ROTFLMMFAO

I will not entertain this rank ignorance with an answer. It's painfully obvious that YDKSAB. Stop using your tongue as a cleaning instrument for Golovkin's nutsack. It's not a good look..

Hearns had a couple of bouts earlier in his career at MW,

Hearns' destruction of Juan Roldan @ 160 urinates and defecates on any single win on Bumlovkin's resume...

[Nay_Sayer]

GLEN JOHNSON is a journeyman.

Glen Johnson's back-to-back wins over Roy Jones jr and Antonio Tarver urinates and defecates on the whole of Bumlovkin's career...

[Nay_Sayer]

So what former welterweight champion should G fight to be legit in your eyes?

If Bumlovkin wants to be on Hopkins' level then he should do what Bernard did - move up to LHW and beat the #1 guy there - on TWO separate occasions.

That wont happen because - unfortunately for you Lil G nuthuggers - Bumlovkin ain't on Bernard's level...

[S7V7N]

Hopkins won his first LEGIT title in his mid 30's @ MW with his win over Tito Trinidad.

Incorrect.
Hopkins was actually 36 when he beat Holmes for the WBC belt, later that same year he beat Trinidad for WBA Super. Happens to be the same age Golovkin is currently yet he's been a 3 belt champion for a few years now. Hopkins also had 2L's, a draw & a NC by this time.

OTOH, Bumlovkin has yet to win a single LEGIT title @ age 36 - and is not likely to do so EVER...

Incorrect.
Guess you forgot about Golovkin beating Lemieux for the IBF at age 33? That's 3 years quicker than Hopkins even though B-Hop turned pro a year younger than GGG. Not even counting beating Geale for the WBA Super the year earlier.

Bernard's original belt was the IBF when at the age of 29 he fought for the vacant version. Golovkin was 28 when he won the interim WBA.

Hopkins won his second LEGIT title in his mid 40s @ LHW with his win over Jean Pascal.

That's TWO LEGIT titles @ TWO different weight classes.

Unknown.
Hopkins was truly an Alien for what he did post 40 & I highly doubt GGG can match those accomplishments, however that's still in the future for GGG so guess we'll have to wait & see.

Their resumes are not that different when broken down & consider the timelines.
